The Angry Arab on George Tenet

In 2003, after the American invasion of Iraq, George Tenet went on a secret trip to Qatar to meet with the Emir. He informed him that if Aljazeera does not change its coverage of the American invasion, the US would consider Aljazeera "a hostile target." I am told that a bitter argument ensued and obscenities were exchanged.

  1. Al Jazaeera's sectarian racist reporting on iraq in 2003-2005 helped provoke sectarian violence in Iraq.

    Al Jazeera celebrated the murder of Iraqi Army and iraqi police.

    15 thousand IA and IP died. Shouldn't Al Jazeera ask for their forgiveness?
